Logan Inn
New Hope, Pennsylvania
John Wells, who is considered by some to be the founder of New Hope’s community was licensed to keep a ferry 1n 1722 and later in 1727, was licensed to keep a tavern. This resulted in the Ferry Tavern which is now known as the Logan Inn. The name changed from Ferry Tavern to Logan Inn in 1828 after ferry operations ceased. Logan Inn is one of the five oldest continuously running Inns in the U.S. The Inn is not only famous for its past guests, who include George Washington; it is famous for its current resident ghosts. It is believed that there are at least five ghosts haunting the old building. Many people have reported seeing the apparition of a Revolutionary War soldier lurking around various areas of the Inn. The second spirit is that of a little girl who reportedly drowned near the Inn years ago. She can be seen wandering aimlessly in the parking lot. The most haunted room in the Inn is room six. There are many reports of a man in the bathroom mirror who is there one minute and gone the next. Guests have been awoken by the feeling of pressure on their chest. Some have reported seeing a white, misty form floating around the room. Room number six has also been the scene of two entities that resemble children both in the mirror and standing in the room. Crying has also been heard in this room and pillows are known to fly from under your head as you sleep. In the basement and on the stairs leading down a ghost in old style clothing has been seen and heard. The lights in this area seem to have a mind of there own and turn off and on when they want to. The final reported ghost is that of Emily. She is featured in a portrait at the Inn. It is said that she loved to wear lavender perfume. Many people have claimed to smell the perfume when they walk by the picture.
